Mid Century Apartments in Long Beach

Happy Mosaic Monday!

Not all mosaics feature representational art. Today I have pictures of an apartment building in Long Beach, on the corner of 2nd Street and Kennebec. It was built in 1964.

I believe this is a mosaic. I could be wrong.

This is the Bluff Park section of Long Beach, just a couple of blocks from the beach and from the Long Beach Museum of Art on Ocean. The building is now condos, not apartments, and most are small--between 700 and 1100 square feet. Some are ultra modern and loft-like.
